This is definitely one of those cases: I just found out, by reformatting the internal memory, that after a fresh start it displays "Flash usage: 2043/2043", so it displays empty space, which is kinda misleading.
After reloading 70 MB of backuped stuff, it is down to 1973/2043, which is correct.

PC might show the whole m92 memory or only memory 'accesible' via PC. From PC you see only part of M92's internal memory. The memory used displayed from PC is probably the amount of contents uploaded by PC (and some other created by M92 in that part of folder structure), while M92 About value would probably include also firmware, etc.
What does your (and others, please let me know) Onyx says in the about section? 4GB or 2GB? Maybe It's supposed to be like this for the device, but on the spec it says 4096MB, and it's not specified to be shared with the OS.

Concerning the decrease of internal memory from 4G to 2G. I have no idea. I personaly wouldn't risk to format internal memory, if it is not really needed (device often hangs, files are corrupted, etc.).
The "Format Memory" is a device option, fully exposed to the user. It has to work safely. I didn't do anything exotic.
Regardless, I'd just like to found out if the 2GB is a bug of the latest build I'm running (and if so, how it can be solved) or if it's just the way It is.
